Jim Barrens Jim Barrens St. Petersburg, FL SIMPLE SONGS, SIMPLE STORIES, EVERYDAY PEOPLE... I've been writing and playing songs since 1965. That's a lot of years and a lot of life's experience. It’s been quite a journey. Through my songs I’ve come to know hundreds of people, real and imagined, who have enriched my life. Like the Vietnam veteran battling his demons; the hitchhiker and the poodle; a singing cowboy; an Irish woman coming to America, and the Italian immigrant and country she fell in love with. Hurricane survivors in Kentucky. Emmylou Harris; Philando Castile, Keith Lamont Scott and hundreds of others; the marchers in Selma; a Virginia Lady with a Pretty Face. And an aging singer facing his own frailties and mortality with a wink and a grin. Join me on the journey....the best songs and stories are probably just around the corner... ©2016 James Barrens (ASCAP) Jim Barrens’s tracks Astoria by Jim Barrens published on 2020-04-12T19:45:22Z Sure Would Be Nice- Live by Jim Barrens published on 2017-10-04T02:31:37Z My Hands by Jim Barrens published on 2017-04-04T18:02:45Z Make America Great Again Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore (apologies to John Prine) by Jim Barrens published on 2017-03-31T21:48:05Z Eventually by Jim Barrens published on 2017-03-31T21:45:52Z Lead Me On by Jim Barrens published on 2017-03-31T21:44:58Z Left Side of the Train Ride by Jim Barrens published on 2016-10-04T17:33:07Z One Too Many Times by Jim Barrens published on 2016-10-04T17:32:35Z Candy-Coated Lady by Jim Barrens published on 2016-10-04T17:32:01Z Misty Morning Mountaintops by Jim Barrens published on 2016-09-21T19:38:56Z
